Lotto 6/49 winner Jean-Marc Poirier with his cheque of worth $36 Million

A Quebec man is quite a few million dollars richer thanks to a winning Lotto 6/49 ticket and it seems that he held onto the information for a while before sharing it with his kids.

According to a press release from Loto-Québec, Jean-Marc Poirier from Lanaudière won the first-ever Gold Ball Jackpot sold in Canada, which was worth a whopping $36 million.

Poirier officially found out he was a winner for the October 29 draw after Loto-Québec contacted him, but he didn't come forward to claim his prize until early February.

Not only did Poirier win a huge jackpot — he also scored two free plays, which the $36 million winner apparently found humorous.

The next Lotto 6/49 draw will be on Wednesday, February 15, and if you have the Lotto 6/49 winning numbers, you could be taking home the $30 million Gold Ball Jackpot in addition to the $5 million Classic Jackpot.
